The towels, polishes, and waxes may have nothing to do with your swirls. How is you washing process/tools? I find that the majority of swirls are induced through the washing/drying process. Although, as RP said............... anything that touches the paint can cause scratches/swirls/spider web marks.
I have bought a brand new microfiber cloth and proceeded to dry off my truck and felt it "bite" directly into the paint of my truck. A freaking brand new microfiber towel from a very well known manufacture that has been in the business for years. I won't mention names but there is a certain aspect that I hate about turtles now.
Anyways, it seems the Ford clearcoats are somewhat soft in comparison to Toyota and others. This has much to do with what you rub up against these paints and is a poor quality aspect that I do not like.
So yea, as Rockpig (lol, sorry had to in relation to the other posts) and others have posted, this is an ongoing thing. MF cloths and the like will still produce haze marks over time, granted not as fast as your rough cut terrycloth towels will, but they will show up.
Orbital buffers are your friend.
